VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D

I've had the second pivot for a few months now and have another on the way for my spare arm wand.  It's easy to hear the difference and if you don't like what you hear it's easily removed.  

IMO this second pivot is a tweek. As with all tweeks, some combos will benefit while others not.  I bought two kits but used only one between two arms. One arm is steel, the other 3D.  The carts are Ortofon Cadneza Red on the steel arm in which I much prefer the second pivot.  The 3D arm has an Ortofon Cadenza Black in which I prefer the uni pivot only.  My take away is that some stylus geometries benefit while others don't.  I don't feel I own a flawed design.  😊
